Tilta has developed a crafty side storage handle for select Sony mirrorless cameras. The Tilta CFexpress Type A to M.2 Side Storage Handle utilizes a high-performance 512GB SSD in place of a CFexpress Type A card, built right into the handle.

The handle is compatible with the Sony A1, A7S3, A7M4, and FX3 Cameras and Tilta cages. The L-shaped custom fit design allows for easy battery swaps, and the Arca Swiss base creates a highly integrated standard.
The handle is anti-slip with silicone cushioning. Recording is indicated by a green tally light. A wrist strap allows for secure and safe camera operation.

What’s Included
- Tilta CFexpress Type A to M.2 Side Storage Handle
- Slotted Screwdriver(4.01.TA-T22-044.00)
- Tiltaing Wrist Strap for Right Side Advanced Focus Handle(9.99.TA-ARH-WS.01)
- 3mm Hex Key
I think this is a very clever design, but one drawback is if you fill the SSD up, you will have to take the grip off and use a media card. Granted, 512 GB is a lot of storage, so for most users, I don’t see this as a big issue. It really depends on how you use the camera. I do like to swap out cards and offload them and go back to work again.
